@Seth --> askubuntu.com/a/781620/522934 is a nice way of counting up own answered questions, what do you think?

Seth

1:25 AM

@Videonauth I don't understand.

Videonauth

see my answer and his own answer to his own question ;)

he took that information of my answer and posted an own answer to his own question

RobotHumans

1:39 AM

@TheBrownOne o/

Seth

@Videonauth hm

Videonauth

he asked 3 hours ago, i answered 3 hours ago, now i look and he answered himself a few minutes ago iwith , that it is avaiable still, guess next step will be waiting 2 days and accept own answer

RobotHumans

That time differential makes it really low. If I post a scratch pad self answer, it's immediately.

Videonauth

yep

thats what i mean

Seth

well he did add a bit of information you didn't, but the whole thing is weird.

Looking at his question though @Videonauth, you didn't really answer it.

Videonauth

1:45 AM

his question was that write2tex isnt supported anymore and with which software he now can convert odt to latex

my answer it is still supported and steps how to install it

Seth

no, he said it didn't support the latest version of LibreOffice, not if the software existed.

but you might leave a comment asking about the whole thing

Videonauth

Quote: "Writter2Latex seems to not support anymore the latest version of LibreOffice Writer. So, can I still convert .odt to .tex with another software/extension? Using Ubuntu 16.04" , then i did find it in the archives, installed it and it worked flawlessly with my bleeding edge updated Ubuntu 16.04 clean install, and posted my answer

but well no i wont comment on it, i'll move on

lol now even retracted the vote on my post, sighs

ok guys do me a favor and downvote my answer to -3 and ill delete it, then i at least get a badge from it

like was there done that got a badge

xD

Stupid Explorer

So it turns out that, even if I get my phone to work with the new modem, there's no actual framework enabled to handle the WiFi calling capability. I have to wait for the new build.

@Videonauth I'll downvote, but only because of the grammar in that second sentence ;P

Videonauth

2:03 AM

yeah gime the peer pressure ;)

otherwise i might have to skip on that badge :p

Zacharee1

Videonauth

2:27 AM

what a waste that this will be closevoted within a day --> askubuntu.com/q/781626/522934 he put quite a bit of research into this question

why?

15.04 ...

oh heh

not tag but in text

should probably tell them to upgrade and continue

Although actually

It isn't necessarily specific to 15.04, is it?

Videonauth

2:29 AM

probably not

and the value gain from answers would be beneficial

Zacharee1

So then it isn't OT

Videonauth

i wonder if i shall edit out the 15.04 @Seth

RobotHumans

Even if we get something for an EOL release that has that much detail, I would think it still provides value for VPS users. Not saying take all comers on EOL questions, but I think this should probably have a definitive yes somewhere on meta at some point.
